Always fun to go check out the opponent’s message board – all of the following comes from Bearcattalk forum over the course of the game thread. I have grouped the more interesting comments into various stages for your enjoyment…

I spent a little time over there as well. All in all, both on-line and in person, the Cincinnati fans seems to be pretty realistic and mostly good sports along the way. The flip side of them are Tulsa and Uconn, the former just having a massive inferiority complex (especially related to SMU) and the latter being the millennial generation of college basketball thinking they are just flat entitled to be better than they actually are. Memphis and Houston fanbases seem somewhere in the middle. Not sure where Temple would fit into the mix.

Houston still has a fanbase?

Halftime at a Men's game last season...

Yes - I know they are trying to fill the place for us - - I was at the UH game last year and it had to be their largest crowd.

I agree. The Cincinnati fans in general seem to be realistic and have a good understanding of basketball.

I enjoy reading their threads especially after games like yesterday. However, a lot of those comments from the original post were around few people while the others were generally realistic. I think their poll had quite a few people vote for us winning, and we would never do that on our fan page. Anyways, just my takeaways from their site, they have few people (who doesn't) that live in denial, they have a few people who are in the anger/depression category, but a good numbers of them are in the acceptance category.
